At the risk of being chastised by sweetpapadad and vandydave, the game isn't marketable to the public when all the power sits with a handful of teams. If you have 5 EE, your team is too good. You can say "Well, that's not my fault" and it isn't but you can't sell the game to new users under those circumstances. My expectations is that teams will stop having 4-5 soon enough. The talent will be better distributed and the game, overall, will be better. And I fully understand that it will suck for those used to being at the top and battling each other.
I mentioned this before and the thread died immediately but this might just be a purge. I've seen posts stating "I haven't bought a team in years" and even more "I'll play out my credits and leave." Having customers who don't pay is a poor business model. Level the playing field, **** off a group that doesn't buy teams and start with fresh group who actually spend money. That seems more profitable.
We are missing a few key points-
1- EVERY REDRUITING CHANGE was designed to level the playing field. We do not need to further artificially punish top teams! That's ridiculous!
What is not marketable to the public is a game where we punish winners! The
Last you said, we will see more parity w the changes. Why punish teams with great players. Ridiculous.
Youve said yourself we will not see these types of teams any more, so you see this. Why not fix ee? And yes, I will be ticked because they knew a potential problem and wanted an unfair solution which punishes those at the top in addition to other changes
2- do you think teams at the top just got a free ride there?
Do you think most of them have not spent much money?
The reality is, we worked hard, spent plenty, and we are the most loyal and longstanding customers.
Do you think a better business model is to make a competition... and then punish those who do the best? Is that your great business model?
Truth is, d2&d3 teams at the top get just as many free teams without putting in the work D1 owners have put in. They also face lesser competition. D1 winners spend plenty and should be rewarded.
This game is a sports sim.
It is a competition.
Any competition that punishes winners is a horrible business model. what is wrong with people?
